Did we consider this to be a home console, or a hybrid home console?
Well, I didn't.
If the dock does something substantial in terms of boosting the machine's power, then I'll accept it as a hybrid. If not I think it is just a slightly qualified retreat from the home space.
No, we didn't, for the reasoning others have stated.
In these times of overlapping functionality, you could make the argument that everything is a hybrid of some sort, but the clearest indication is form factor - has it been designed with the purpose of combining, in a solitary form, two previously separate devices? The PSP wasn't; by the sounds of it, the NX will be.
That it may not transform in power terms when it sits in a dock that places it as a home console, to be used with the bundled and detachable controllers, is a different issue.
I agree to some extent though, it's a partial retreat from the home space, or perhaps it'd be more charitable to call it a consolidation. A conservative home console and a progressive handheld in one unified form plays to Nintendo's strengths in both fields.
